Letters Patent No. 85,710, -datedJanua/ry 5, 1869.

mnovnnmm.' IN rnNcns The Slohadulel referred to in those Letters Patent and making paxtof the same.

To whm it may concern in the county 'of Rensselaer, State of -N ew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in- Fences,' and I do hereby declare that the following .is

'a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure l is anisornetrical perspective view.

Thisy invention consists -in the peculiar method of constructing fences made of wires, posts, and pickets.`

In the construction of -my improved fence, I use six continuous wires, running parallel with the ground, and in pairs, in which the pickets are woven, as usual.

Instead of. attaching the wire to the posts A A A, by -means of staples, hooks, or pins, as usual, I make slight saw-cuts into the sides of the posts, through which the wires a`a a pass, and which support the wires.

These sawf'cuts afford a much more permanent support to Ythe =wires than pins, or staples, or any other known device.

This method allows the use of continuous wires, and avoids any. short twisting of the same.

The pickets may be round or flat, as shown in the drawing, reaching to the ground or-supported partly by a base-board. The drawing will suciently explain the mode of construction, without further description.

What I claim as my invention, and desire vto secure by Letters Patent, is v The combination and arrangement ofthe posts A A A, wires aa a, 'and pickets p j p, substantially as and for the purposes hereinset forth.
